Love Story, the new series produced by FX and available to watch in the UK and Isle of Man through streaming platform Disney+, charts the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette, dubbed the 1990s ‘Golden Couple’.
The nine-part show details their lives at the top of high society and struggles with fame. Their story ended in the middle of the night in 1999, off the coast of Massachusetts, when a plane flown by JFK Jr crashed – killing all six on board, including Bessette.
Love Story has since become the platform’s most watched limited series ever.

Come February, the track, was included in both the show’s playlist and accompanying playlists on several streaming services, alongside tracks by Madonna and The Beastie Boys.
After watching it, Watret said he was “transported back to the 1990s” because of the music.
“Big tunes, big names but it hasn’t escaped us that we are the unknowns in the line up,” he said.
Whilst the musical company the duo now inhibit – musicians which Holden was reared on – makes him “pinch” himself.
